“It seems that whenever I am at a crossroads in my life, Katana has a way of giving me clarity of vision. Her passion and ability to see through situations, then having the courage to say what she sees is why I love and admire her. Her tenacity of belief in attracting amazing things into her life has helped me believe those things can happen to me. Her quality of having wings is remarkable, but her ability to give others wings is truly her crowning glory. Her greatest gift to me is that she encouraged me to never settle, to always believe that I am destined for greatness. She truly is an encouraging, dynamic, and caring individual who is making a difference with her life, and every life she touches.”

~Pam Smith

“This program has been a catalyst for me. It isn’t just a 6-bullet process. The exercises are very rich and filled with deep questions. It has given me clarity on several things I have been trying to figure out in my business and life. I have done a lot of questioning and taken a lot of courses in my life, but MJ and Katana have done a beautiful job presenting this information, including exercises that were incredibly important for me in order to move forward in a bigger way.”

~Ruth Greenberg

“The whole program has strengthened the will in me.With the tools and exercises, plus the rituals and meditations, I am so much more positive and hopeful, and have already started to see momentum from the changes.”

~Burcu Yalman, Istanbul, Turkey

“I don’t have fear around money anymore and understand that fear is self-judgment that comes from within. Recently I was getting a little scattered and falling back into old patterns. After talking with Katana I realized that all I had to do was, “To change the way we look at things, and the things we look at change.” (Dr. Wayne Dyer). Katana facilitates this process quickly and with compassion. I don’t know what I would do without her guidance.”

~Jackie Case

“Katana helped me create a secure future and peace of mind. I am now more confident and am free to enjoy retirement.After my husband died unexpectedly, I was very overwhelmed with my finances and had no idea how to recreate the lifestyle and income I had been used to without running out of money. In addition, there were so many different statements and accounts, that it was almost impossible to see what I really had and how it all fit together.”

~Amal Randolph

“Katana Abbott is one of the GREAT ones. Not only because of what she knows, but because of how she cares. It is a rare combination to find a business executive with extensive knowledge supported by a winning track record, but even more unusual to know, this is a person you can easily work with and trust to have your best interest at heart. Attitude and authenticity is not something you can learn in graduate school, you either have it, or you don’t. Katana Abbott is a one-of-a-kind combination of brains, beauty and brilliance. Highest recommendation.”

~Deb Scott, Life Coach, Award Winning Author Radio Host: The Best People We Know Show”

“If you are ready to quickly and effectively leave disempowering beliefs behind, a private Money Personality Breakthrough Session with Katana is a must. Katana quickly honed in and helped me clear a key residual belief that was still showing up and blocking my potential.Although I had previously worked on this issue with other capable professionals, Katana accurately pinpointed some remnants of my false belief that were directly tied to my relationship with money. We were able to move through and release it once and for all. This session was worth every penny and more. Amazing!”

~Chris Baxla-Lewandowski

“I just love working with Katana. Her energy, generous heart, and spirit are one of a kind! The programs she offers are always top notch and she is a cutting edge entrepreneur that wants to see women succeed. Every time I talk with Katana, I come away with totally new and helpful information. I attended her Costa Rica Yoga Retreat and it was a life changing event for me and I had one of the greatest times of my life! So many thrilling and exciting experiences. The camaraderie of the other group members was awesome”.

~Leslie Umstetter, Entrepreneur

“Though I was hesitant to hire a coach, unsure if it was good investment of my time and money, Katana proved to be most valuable in helping chart a new direction for my career as a financial planner. After every phone call, I felt challenged yet inspired and much more confident about achieving what I wanted most in my professional life. Katana has been a true blessing in my life and business. Thank you for that Katana!“

~Rachel Lane, Certified Financial Planner

“My first coaching session with Katana was just amazing. I had listened to Smart Women Talk Radio for over a year and finally made the decision to make contact. I am at a stage in my journey where I have decided to re-invent my life and know where I want to go. Coaching with Katana has helped make things clearer for me and I truly feel she is the Mentor I’ve been looking for.“

~Chisha Kumisku

“My first consultation went very well. I am pleasantly surprised at the insights that Katana shared with me. As a women in my mid 50’s I am behind the 8 Ball in planning for my retirement. Katana shared a plan to get me where I want to be in order to retire in security and comfort. The session gave me hope. I am looking forward to my next session.”

~Colette Spriggs

“Working with Katana has been invaluable for my finances and my business.As my first financial advisor she set me on a path to financial independence, allowing me to retire early from teaching and pursue my dream of being an author.Since my retirement, I have published two books and become a professional speaker. In the process, Katana has continued to support me by providing valuable connections and other innovative resources.Thank you very much Katana!”

~Pierette Domenica Simpson, Author and Speaker

“I knew I had several big things coming into my life and it was important to let go of some things no longer serving me, however, I had been feeling depressed and stuck for close to two weeks. I was feeling frustrated, discouraged and depressed. Katana helped me tune into my inner little girl who was very uncomfortable with “standing out among the crowd and shinning in her brilliance.” I felt embarrassed at the beginning of our session, to admit I felt depressed, stuck and uninspired. I felt I should know how to do this myself, by now, with all the tools I have and know. I appreciate Katana’s insight, gentleness and understanding as she helped me release this deep, deep resistance and block. I have my clarity and inspiration back!Thank you, Katana!“

~Edey Caldwell-Sanders

“Katana helped me get clarity in a way I never thought possible, even through the pain she helped me see clearly. I now have a vision and she is helping create a plan to help others who face tragedies in their own lives. Within a week of starting my coaching with her, tragedy struck my life and my life fell apart. Katana unlike any other coach kept reaching out to me and telling me that she was there for me, I was a mess, but she kept trying to reach out. Once she did, I was able, through her care and guidance, see that the tragedy was a door opening. I had not even considered its significance until she held my hand like a wonderful friend and helped me see that the career that I was considering was bigger than I could have ever imagined. Sometimes you just don’t know how much you really know, until a helpful, loving and caring friend, ie coach, helps you see what you could not see on your own. She helped me awaken to my own brilliance! Thank you so much Katana!”

~Jodi Lovitt, Trauma Expert

“What a valuable hour we shared on the Smart Women Experts and Mastermind Team Idea Lab call! Having not only one but three coaches on board was so effective. I walked away from the call with specific actions in mind as a result of the brainstorming and suggestions from Katana and her team. I love having the power of multiple brains to come up with innovative ideas for growing my business!”

~Suzanne Holman, Healthy Body - Healthy Brain At Any Age

“Katana has truly changed my life. She has taken my small ideas and turned them into huge concepts that I can build my business on. When I feel overwhelmed at what I need to do she is there breaking it down into manageable steps for me. I always feel motivated at the end of our sessions because she inspires me to move forward with my dream and there’s real excitement in her voice when I succeed. Her coaching has been game changing for me. I’m not sure I would be this close to my dream if I didn’t have her. She’s behind me, next to me, and in front of me paving the way. Thank you Katana!”

~Michelle Hutchinson, Co-owner and COO at Inspired Apps, Inc.

“The gift of wisdom, insight and inspiration! What a blessing it was to speak with Katana. She has a gift for listening with love and speaking from spirit. With a simple, yet profound, visioning exercise she helped me reframe a childhood memory and replace it with a sweet and empowering image that strengthens and inspires me. I left our call energized and excited about the possibilities that await me with a vision that is grander and bolder than ever. I am immensely grateful to Katana for choosing to share the wisdom she’s gained on her journey with women who are ready to turn their dreams into plans and live full-out.”

~Colleen Kilpatrick

“I am so happy we met in 2012. Since working with youI’ve taken more chances, calculated risks, and made fruitful investments and I want to thank you for that. I do use the tools, especially the expenses/income sheets and try to simplify my life. I listen to your shows and discover every time new things, and positive approaches.”

~Sehnaz Özdamar, International Cooperation Consultant

“Working with you has been eye opening and soul opening.During our time together, I was able to identify and release my limiting beliefs. In addition I moved confidently through the mediation of my divorce and gained clarity in my life and finances as an artist, entrepreneur and a philanthropist.What we accomplished together is mind blowing. I couldn’t get over the “before and after” lists. You are incredible and I am grateful for all of your patience and guidance. Thank you for everything! WOW!”

“Working with Katana in a very laser session about money and my money personality brought a seismic shift in my understanding of my belief not only around money, but what I believe is possible for myself. This work for me is the final piece (and peace) of the puzzle. Clarity of my long held beliefs which serve or don’t serve me allows me to only carry forward that which leads to my growth. Incredible work can be done with Katana if you’re willing to show up and allow her to use her experience, tools, wisdom and intellect. From chaos to clarity is exactly what happened for me. Thank you Katana – I’m thrilled with what we did (and will continue to do) together!”

~Victoria Trabosh, Executive Coach and Speaker

“Katana Abbott gives very real, hands on, practical advice for creating both prosperity and wealth. She gets to the root of your problems and develops strategies quickly, effectively and affordably. The real beauty is that she helps you transform using her personal experiences, wisdom and genuine compassion for empowering women. You never feel ashamed or awkward for being open and truthful, even if you are in a financial or professional mess! If you are looking for a Wealth Coach to put you on the right track, hire Katana Abbott today!”

~Bonnie Taube

“Two very significant things have shifted for me since I began working with Katana –my relationship with money and my relationship with my Mother. In our first session, we identified my “Security” money personality. Katana skillfully led me to the early childhood experience with my Mother which was the root cause of my belief in scarcity. She helped me identify where this experience resided in my body, and I was able to releas it. I now have a newfound sense of security, regardless of external circumstances. I have begun to spend money differently, choosing things that really feed my soul. I am SO glad that I signed up for Katana’s coaching program…and this is only the beginning!”

~Pam Campbell

“Katana has the ability to take your dream to reality! As a Vision Coach with Smart Women’s Coaching she coaches you through a process that allows you to do your greatest life work while creating tremendous wealth. Having a steep financial background coupled with a vision to help others “see” what gifts they have, Katana will change your life and unlock the secrets of successful high earners.”

~Jill Jordan, Personal Branding Expert, Get Ahead by Getting Known

“Before working with Katana my biggest challenge was expanding my reach and making more money. Katana showed me how to delegate so many of the tasks I was doing myself that allowed me to free myself up for ‘revenue-generating’ activities. She linked me with partners to assist me in reaching more customers and helped me to take my marketing into the 21st century. I have completely redesigned my website and my web hits are up 25%. I am less stressed than I was and able to accomplish more each day.”

~Jean Addriene

“ I received a triple return on my investment with you.I’m so grateful for our time together. As a result of your very diverse expertise, in just one week I received the tools necessary to take my insurance and financial service agency to the next level. After implementing these strategies I closed two cases with a total commission of $8000 in 7 weeks with much more to come over the next several months.

In addition, we are making progress toward our big goal of Chairman’s Circle (only the top 1% of agents ever qualify for this). It’s the closest we’ve come to reaching this goal at this point in the year! Because of these tools and your support, I feel more confident about working with clients who previously intimidated me. Most importantly, I am now working at a whole new level and transforming the lives of my clients and my team members. This is priceless! Thank you, Katana.”

“Working with Katana has helped me in so many areas of my financial planning practice. We were able to identify and eliminate several of the roadblocks preventing me from moving to the next level in my business. Katana’s creative ideas and knowledge of the financial planning industry combine to make her an invaluable resource. I look forward to continuing with Katana on this road to personal and professional growth with her as my guide. She has the total package of coaching resources and experience to help me realize my greatest potential.”

~Rebecca Salama, Ameriprise Financial

“Katana helped me recognize and evolve my personal passions. The short-term goal was easy to pinpoint, but as a recent college graduate, I struggled with the long-term goal. As the months went by, Katana’s natural entrepreneurial expertise and innate passion for success rubbed off on me, and she helped me develop a blue print of how to one day run my own social media consulting firm. I’ve recently had the honor of being accepted into American University’s Master’s Program in Public Communication, and I know much of this acceptance was thanks to my Smart Women’s Coaching experience and Katana’s recommendation letter. She is a caring mentor, a savvy businesswoman and, most importantly, a powerful communicator. I have already recommended her as a Life Coach to a friend of mine who is publishing her first book. Katana changes lives!”

~Agatha Wolkowicz, Social Media Consultant

“Katana is wise, compassionate, and knowledgeable. My work with her was an important first step in changing my relationship with money. I now have a better understanding about the places and behaviors that keep me financially stuck and a realistic path to creating greater prosperity and peace of mind.”

~Ronda Pretzlaff Diegel, Ph.D. LP, Yoga Instructor, Retreat Leader

“What I am most grateful for is Katana’s encouragement and support. Her generosity of time, energy and materials has been such a blessing. Her enthusiasm and belief in me has been very motivating. As a counsellor, I’m used to being the one in the supporting role. It has been nice to be on the receiving end and to be the one being supported for a change. Thank you Katana! You are wonderful coach and mentor. Your love and light shines bright.”

~Denise Dale, Denise Dale Counseling Services

“Katana truly came to me at the perfect moment. Her ability to listen and comprehend was amazing. And so much good has occurred for me as a result of working with her. I would recommend Katana to anyone who asked me about whether she was worth her weight in gold – certainly, from me, that answer would be a resounding YES!”

~Deborah Hart, Co-owner, Yemm & Hart, Ltd

“I have known Katana for over 10 years and I have found that she consistently walks her walk and talks her talk. Katana really cares about you and your business and, she will work with you until you get the “aha’s” that will make the BIG difference in your business and with your money. She has decades of financial experience and she is outstanding in helping her clients move forward in having their money dreams come true. “

~Ruth Klein

“Last May I went to a health coaching event where they dove into money issues, including giving us a page with about 10 items we could circle if they triggered us. I circled quite a few of them back then and I was in tears more than once that weekend – very emotional. I am VERY happy to report that I just got back from the same event (held for the fall), and I was totally cool! I did not circle even ONE item on the list! I could tell that I have had a real shift – I think partly because of focusing on the attitudes of wealth and going through the money drama exercises – especially the Expense Tracker – love that Expense Tracker! So thanks Katana and Michelle”

~Deb Regan

“It’s been about seven months since i completed both the Get Clarity Now and Money Drama Breakthrough courses and I can honestly say that I use the tools from both every day. I’m saving money, paying off debt and most importantly, not creating new debt. While I still hit bumps in the road, I don’t get completely derailed. I know what I need to do when money doesn’t seem to be flowing and I can refer back to my notes, journaling and workbooks to see where I might be getting stuck. Awareness is the key. Just knowing my personal money story and where it came from puts me in control. There are many awesome women in this program who are willing and able to extend a helping hand if you are having trouble getting started.”

~Jacqueline Case

“Thank you Katana, for your invaluable advise today. Before our conversation I was feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to start with moving my business forward. But since our session, I now feel more confident, energized and focused. I loved the simplicity of your 80/20 rule and understand now that I need to start by focusing 80% of my time on my unique abilities and talents and then learn to eliminate, delegate or outsource everything else. To put this in action, I’ve already made an appointment with the new VA you recommended. Thank you again for the clarity!”

~ Janet Richmond, Simply Dream Travel

“Katana showed me a new way to look at my past and I believe it helped open a door to my future. I look forward to her continuing inspiration!”

~Meredith Bromfield, Financial Planner www.CrossingYourBridge.com

“Katana brings a wonderful combination of strong financial skills, good relationship building abilities and care. She is creative and is intent on bringing about change. I was introduced to Katana through a mutual friend of ours and I think highly of her abilities. She has developed a talented team to create a novel program that empowers women. I think she would make a wonderful coach!!!”

~Ram Swamy, CFO RMS Services USA Inc.

“My Confidence has improved! Before working with Katana I felt unmotivated and confused as to where to start. I felt a major resistance both mentally and physically about the steps I was asked to incorporate into my life. I knew what Katana said was true deep in my soul but I resisted doing them because staying stuck in my usual ways was safer. I now see how important a spiritual practice is for my soul and the real origin of who I am. The more I shift to Love and out of Ego I feel more calm and grounded in my power. My confidence has improved and it feels easier to talk honestly to people about what I do as a Nurse and Health Coach.”

~Lola Dyer, Nurse, Health Coach

“Thank you, Katana, for the wonderful Money Personality Coaching Session. You made it easy and safe to talk about things that I rarely speak to anyone about. You gave me insights into my own behaviors, from a soul vantage point, with which I think I will be able to move ahead in new and positive ways. You offered both practical recommendations and genuine encouragement. I actually feel lighter and more empowered from our conversation – as well as authentically supported. I’m most grateful.”

“Insightful. Katana has such a gift of clarity and the ability to cut through and focus on tangible steps. I have a few directions I could take and needed someone as a sounding board – her insights were helpful. As a result of our talk, I’ve narrowed my scope and feeling much more focused. Thanks Katana! for that and more…”

~Johanne E.

“Katana Abbott is a special gift to me. I had committed to writing a chapter for book titled “Helping Others to Succeed” and was really getting “cold feet” about writing, and putting myself “out there.” I even confessed to her that it was such a challenge filled with anxiety that I was willing to forfeit my investment rather than go forward. Her solution was to interview me and to record and transcribe the call. Needless to say, it worked, and the book is now at the printer. This is just one example of Katana’s ability to inspire coaching clients to step outside their comfort zones and achieve.”

~Lanette Thurman PhD, Leadership and Business Coach

“Katana knows how to design a network of services that can help anyone wanting to launch a soul centered business that will work for you, rather than you working for the business. Smart women use a coach to guide them through any business transition. Let Katana be yours”.

~Kimberly Brenner Life & Love Coach

“I had the privilege of being inspired by one person in a roomful of speakers at an International Speakers Network Conference in Knoxville, Tennessee. Katana Abbott stood out from two days of varied speakers as my favorite speaker with a style that I want to model myself after. Katana was open, positive, engaging with her audience. She was friendly with her body language and gestures. She was appropriately emotional while telling her rich story which she tied to her workshop lessons. She is colorful, encouraging and relevant to her participants. The attention was on the right subject – the message as told by Katana! Sign me up if she is speaking!”

~Linda Simon, Branding & Advancing Entrepreneurs

“I had my Money Breakthrough Method Coaching Session with Katana today and it was phenomenal. Her laser focus helped me discover what my core disempowering beliefs around money are. As well as help me discover what my core way of dealing with money has been in my life. She was spot on in her assessment and she gave me more clarity of focus. Now I can pay attention to and notice when I am coming from a disempowering belief and then choose differently (than I have in the past). I highly recommend her services and cannot wait for her new course coming soon. Thank you Katana for helping me step into my new power with money!!”
